Our immediate office building for sale seller opportunity mandate includes financially challenged REIT office building properties and portfolios, commercial real estate developer portfolios, as well as tenants in common (TIC) and private equity fund commercial office building properties for sale, requiring immediate financial reconstruction and /or financial reorganization while currently suffering from a general lack of liquidity and daily financial operating stress.

For active and distressed office property sellers alike, (including 1031 exchange sellers), we offer what may be the best opportunity for emotional relief and financial salvation. We purchase each financially challenged office property investment or office building investment portfolio “as is” (“buy them as we find them”) for a sales price greater than the existing loan, regardless of current outstanding balance, or current market value.

Selling an single commercial office investment property or an entire office investment portfolio for a sales price greater than the existing mortgage debt, (regardless of the current market value of each individual office property) allows each office investment seller to preserve its coveted capital gains treatment, avoiding ordinary income tax treatment triggered by debt forgiveness. Phantom income issues can be mitigated with our typical acquisition structure.

The senior management team at Abacus is dedicated to developing a unique and individualized sales strategy for each commercial investment seller and is committed to a swift resolution with positive results. We strive to eliminate seller anxiety, fear and doubt that plague many of today’s investment property sellers, portfolio managers, and tenant in common (TIC) investor owners.

The dedicated senior management team at Abacus truly understands all too well, the daily challenges facing each investor operator of an office building or office portfolio in this current business environment. With the pervasive oversupply of office space nationally, no building classification or sector is immune. Knowing this, our dedicated professional acquisition specialists seek to acquire those unique market opportunities where we as a team, can make a significant positive contribution to our sellers.

In the face of ever increasing tenant downsizing, rental concessions, leasing fees and declining rents, and a general tenant exodus, office building operators continually find themselves chasing and competing for fewer potential tenants at lower rental rates as utilities, real estate taxes, and insurance continue to escalate. The personal stress soon becomes unbearable with mounting lender demands and legal threats coupled with investor partner calls and legal threats creating their own special form of daily pressure.

Listing the office building for sale with a national brokerage firm is fruitless, as the single office building investment or office building portfolio is now worth substantially less than the existing debt.

Compounding the fear and pressure is the potential loss of capital gains and taxable debt mortgage relief at ordinary income levels, and reporting all of this uncomfortable news to your investment partners.

There is one winning solution to this financial quagmire, sell the financially challenged commercial office investment property or investment office portfolio to Abacus for a sum greater than the existing debt, regardless of the status of the mortgage or negative equity market value. Such a unique and comprehensive sale transaction provides our Sellers’s with the opportunity to book a positive sale transaction, and report a capital gain on sale.

As with all major sophisticated investment transactions, real estate investment sellers should always seek and rely upon the advice of their own legal and accounting professionals prior to engaging in any purchase and sale transaction.
